Book Description
Excerpt from Stories of the Rabbis These stories are reprinted from the first volume of my book, The Story of the Jewish People. The Rabbis chosen are among the most interesting personalities of the Tannaim who lived in the first two centuries of the present era. I have deemed it desirable to select a few of these men and give some account Of their lives and teaching rather than string together a number of isolated stories of a large number of persons having no relation to each other. I have made selections from a vast mass Of material, and lack of space has made it necessary to exclude much interesting matter. I hope that the publication Of this book at a popular price will do something to make known to a wider public the characters and teaching of some of the men who kept Judaism alive in days of old, and thus perhaps stimulate an interest in the wider movements of Jewish history through the ages.

Book Description
In the present volume, a modest sheaf of arrows in gathered from the rabbinical quiver. Their aim is simply to entertain, primarily the select but constantly widening circle of those interested in Oriental themes, and then the intelligent reading public that will perhaps find something novel at least in these stories, which illustrate some phases of life and thought in old Judaea, and yet are not wholly foreign to the culture and tendencies of our own age. Nor are they without a certain educational value for the young, embodying virtues which must always be emphasized. Their atmosphere is one of genial humanity.

Book Description
Abram S. Isaacs (1851-1920) was an American rabbi, author, and professor. The rabbis, whose sayings are recorded in the Talmud and Midrash-writings that stretch over about a thousand years-were admirable story-tellers. They were fond of the parable, the anecdote, the apt illustration, and their legends that have been transmitted to us, all aglow with the light and life of the Orient, possess perennial charm. The common impression that they were rabbinical Dryasdusts-mere dreamers, always buried in wearisome disputations, abstruse pedants dwelling in a solitary world of their own-is wholly unjust. They were more than ecclesiastics-they were men; and their cheerful humanity forms the secret to their character. Their background was rather sombre- temple and nationality destroyed, a succession of foreign taskmasters, a series of wars and persecutions that would have annihilated any other race. But if the Roman drove his ploughshare over the site of Judaea's capital, the Hebrew spirit refused to submit to the yoke of any conqueror. In the storm and stress of centuries the rabbis preserved a certain buoyancy and even temper, which sprang from the fullness and sunniness of their faith. They thought and studied and debated; they worked and dreamt and cherished hope- "Like a poet hidden In the light of thought, Singing songs unbidden Till the world is wrought To sympathy with hopes and fears it heeded not."

Book Description
Excerpt from Rabbi and Priest: A Story Towards the end of 1882, there arrived at the old Pennsylvania Railroad Depot in Philadelphia, several hundred Russian refugees, driven from their native land by the inhuman treatment of the Muscovite Government. Among them were many intelligent people, who had been prosperous in their native land, but who were now reduced to dire want. One couple, in particular, attracted the attention of the visitors, by their intellectual appearance and air of gentility, in marked contrast to the abject condition of many of their associates. Joseph Kierson was the name of the man. and the story of his sufferings aroused the sympathy of his hearers. The man and his wife were assisted by the Relief Committee, and in a short time were in a condition to provide for themselves. The writer had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Kierson a few years later, and elicited from him a complete recital of his trials and an account of the causes of the terrible persecution which compelled such large numbers of his countrymen to flee from their once happy homes. His story forms the nucleus of the novel I now present to my readers. While adhering as closely as possible to actual names, dates and events, it does not pretend to be historically accurate. In following the fortunes of Mendel Winenki, from boyhood to old age, it endeavors to present a series of pictures portraying the character, life, and sufferings of the misunderstood and much-maligned Russian Jew. In the description of Russia's customs and characteristics, the barbarous cruelty of her criminal code and the nihilistic tendency of the times, the author has followed such eminent writers as Wallace, Foulke, Stepniak, Tolstoi and Herzberg-Fraenkel. The accounts of the riots of 1882 will be found to agree in historic details with the reports which were published at the time. With this introduction, I respectfully submit the work to the consideration of an indulgent public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
